Decent, classic brunch spot located in Burlingame. Very old fashioned and walking in here felt like walking back in time. Service was friendly and we got sat pretty quickly as they have tons of outdoor and indoor seating. The omelette we got was solid and I was surprised to see that it came with hash browns and a bagel too! As this place is known for pancakes, I was super excited to try the banana macadamia pancake which is only available on weekends and this was the big miss for me. It was SUPER dry which was really disappointing. No amount of added syrup or butter could save it. We could've just had a bad batch maybe? Overall, i'd say this is still a charming American spot. read more

Today, I had steak and eggs! It wasn't bad; the steak was cooked just the way I like it, and the eggs were prepared as I requested. Of course, my server was friendly! But I'm wondering if the person in tight pants with tattoos on their arms, who was watching the host, is the owner? If so, a little more smiling would be appreciated! Anyway, I enjoyed the meal, but I think it's impossible to feel that "OKjeon" vibe anymore... read more

My visit today was outside San Francisco. I wanted to explore a different area, so we went to 'Stacks,' a beautiful place located in Downtown Burlingame, CA. The food is impressively enormous, with generous and delicious portions. Being a fan of Frittatas, I ordered a Salmon Frittata, which was also gratinated with cheese OMG delicious! As a sweet lover, we also ordered a Strawberry Crepe with yogurt, which was incredibly tasty. The ambiance is lovely, filled with flowers and colors, accompanied by soft sounds that make it a great place for a good and friendly conversation. The service is friendly and attentive, with all servers and bussers being attentive every moment. Thanks, team! I'll be back. read more

Been here a few times now, and it's a classic breakfast place! Sometimes there is a wait, but there's a fair number of tables inside. Very family friendly place with tables of all sizes. Parking is always available in the caltrain lot. The menu is huuuge. The waffles are yum! I prefer them to the pancakes, though I prefer that in general. The clam chowder is very nice and savory, and they do not skimp on the size of anything. read more

Looking for a place to have a big breakfast with friends and family. This is the place. The food is delicious. The service is kind and straight to the point. The French toast was good and the smoke salmon frittata was a tab bit salty but still good. I love for hot tea that they bring you and huge hot water dispenser. Thank you again for a good time. read more

We had a delicious breakfast of blueberry waffles. The blueberry compote tasted homemade and fresh. The waffle was still hot and the whipped cream tasted homemade too. Our server was friendly and helpful. A very cozy and pretty interior. They give you a lot of coffee on your table so convenient for a warm up. A favorite for a Burlingame spot. I can highly recommend for a delicious breakfast read more

We came here for brunch after going to sfo. We came in and were seated immediately. We started off with drinks: coffee, orange juice, and water. We then order our dishes. I ended up going with their chicken and waffles. I love that it couples with a tiny jar of maple syrup. The restaurant itself was decorated with so many Christmas decorations. It felt like I was walking into a hallmark store/movie. The restaurant is spacious and gives old school dinner vibes. It felt very cozy and welcoming. I like the ambience overall. The service was solid. Our server was very attentive and responsive. We ended up having to pay at the register since we were in a hurry. Besides that it was solid. Stacks is a great place for American breakfast. I would come back forsure! read more

Hands down, this is the best breakfast in the Bay Area. I always get the steak and eggs with Banana Wheat Germ Pancakes. The steak is legitimately great quality meat and consistently delicious. The eggs are cooked in butter (not toxic seed oils) so they taste better and are healthier. The Pancakes are the best I've ever had. I cannot find any resturant that does this recipe. The bananas are inside the pancake and while wheat germ sounds unappetizing, it makes for the most delicious Pancake! Trust me. It comes with a heaping of melted butter and I just cannot get enough. Lastly, the service is spectacular. Super professional, always friendly and attentive and just overall, geninuenly good nice people. read more

We were looking for a breakfast spot in the Burlingame area and came upon Stack and decided to try it based on the feedback we had heard from friends that had been to other locations. The outside looked inviting but when we walking in there was a distinct musty/dusty smell. It was kind of like an old museum smell or the smell in your Uncle/Aunts/Grandparants house (you know the ones that never throw anything away). We did not want to sit outside and we eventually we became "nose blind" to it. My wife and I had pancakes, eggs and bacon, and our girls (8 and 10) had crepes (one with powdered sugar only and the other with strawberries). The pancakes were not very good. They had a grainy texture. I only ate a fifth of mine because I just did not want to waste the calories on something I did not like. The bacon and eggs were .....well bacon and eggs (nothing special). The girls on the other hand really like their crepes. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. But overall I am giving it 2 stars because the service was good and our daughters liked what they got. But I can't see myself recommending this spot as I am sure that there are better spots in the area. read more

Cute interior and plenty of space outdoors for those nice mornings. Service was good. Very friendly. Portions are huge here so consider sharing something. I doo think the prices are pretty high considering it's mostly standard breakfast fare, but I did enjoy the savoury pancakes! read more

This was a cute place to eat at while we visited from out of town. There was a bunch of seating which led the inside to look a bit cramped. There was outdoor seating as well. They do not make any fancy lattes or coffees so that bummed me out. My kids enjoyed their breakfasts which were good but nothing special or new to us. My husband liked his omelet. The service was fine; nothing impressive but they all got the job done well which i appreciated. Nothing was bad here; there just wasn't anything great. read more

First time here. Street parking or metered parking only. outdoor and indoor seating available. Large menu with breakfast brunch dinner. Portions are good sized. We ordered the BLT sandwich and fries as well as a chocolate chip waffle. One of the people on our table ordered the blueberry pancakes that were a bit dry. The service was wonderful! The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I will definitely return soon. read more

Finally got around to eating at Stacks with a group of 9! My family was visiting from out of town and stayed at a nearby hotel close to the airport. For a large party, we got seated pretty quickly and waited roughly 30 minutes. It didn't feel like much of a wait though as they serve both water and coffee for those waiting on their table. I was able to get my caffeine fix well before my meal so thank you! The ambiance feels like walking in to grandma's living room. Think floral couches, dark wood, and plants. That's the vibe I got. Service was both attentive and quick! For a large party as well, we all got our food at the same time which I appreciated. Now onto the food! My partner got the Savory Carnitas Pancakes. There's nothing like mixing sweet and savory and Stacks did this dish justice. The Pork was reminiscent of candied bacon - you get the caramelization from both the apple bbq sauce and onions they use to sauté the carnitas in. A fantastic topper to the fluffy pancakes! I got the Eggs Louie which had big chunks of crab meat. They did not skimp either! The hollandaise sauce held up nicely (wasn't too runny or thick) and had such a buttery flavor. We really enjoyed both dishes and easily cleared our plates of food. I'm knocking a point as it is a bit hard to navigate around the tables with the lack of space in between. It was a tight squeeze and I always had to worry about potentially knocking over something at the the table behind me with how close we were. read more

Seating was quick for a busy day. Very loud as it was quite full. Server got wrong dish to me and had to wait for replacement. Both me and my partner's food were undercooked (vegetables and omelette) and under flavored. Later got a horrid stomach ache and upset stomach. Sad experience as we do like Stacks at another location but most likely will not come back to this one. Busy doesn't mean it should be sloppy cooking and service. read more

Massive menu! You can bring the pickiest eater and they will find something they like because the menu is intensive and they offer all types of breakfast/brunch items. The staff was super nice and attentive. The food came out quickly and the café just has a French look and vibe to it. Reminded me of Paris for sure. read more

I heard about Stacks from my daughter. I didn't have time to sit down ay get the whole experience, so I settled on a to go order. I ordered the bacon waffles and the Italian frittata. The frittata came with a bagel and hash browns. The food was good The packaging of the order, was a bit mismash. When I opened up the entrée boxes, they were upside down and inside out. I really enjoyed the waffles... The bagel was a little soggy. I was pleased with the fact that the order was on time. I didn't have to wait for it. When I go back to the bar again, I will definitely check it out and give it a second chance. read more

Great service and great food. Been going here for decades. Constantly good, especially breakfast. Great atmosphere.

I went to Stacks recently with my husband for brunch. We had a great experience there. I really loved the decor. All the greenery and art made for a great environment. The service was really fast and so efficient. I thought our waiter was very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Tons of great options to choose from. It came really fast and was delicious! This is my new favorite brunch place!!! read more

100/10! Have been going to Stacks for 13 Years and they have the BEST Pancakes and Waffles! Best service and best food!

It was my fiance & I's first time coming here. We really enjoyed our meal, but it was a big thanks to our server. We didn't get the chance to catch his name! :( Great and attentive customer service. He served us coffee and we asked if they had non-dairy creamer. He came back with warm almond milk for us. Food came out fairly quickly for a busy Friday morning. I'm assuming busier than usual as it was Veterans Day. Steak was cook the way we asked. Macadamia Banana pancakes were bomb. Def do not skimp on the macadamias like other breakfast spots. Overall, worth a try and definitely will be back again. read more

I should have known better the moment I stepped into the place, which reeked of a foul odor. I came here excited to eat, and although the service was fine, things took a disgusting turn when a roach scurried across the table out of nowhere . That moment was so traumatizing that I definitely won't be returning. read more

The food was decent as well as the ambiance. What was really lacking was the service. Not very friendly, always seemed to be in a rush when it wasn't super busy, and they messed up my order. Overall, I'd go to other brunch places near here before going here again. read more

My son and my favorite Mama Son Breakfast Dates location! They're pancakes are amazing, there Mimosas are the best! The service is awesome except for the guy with tattoos one Sunday earlier this year was rude as rude can do! He was the calling names and giving out tables! I asked him can we sit our table was ready and he rudely asked if our party complete? We aren't white by the way cause that's how he made us feel! I said yes only my disabled husband crossing the street! His answer was .. ya have to wait .. when he finally got to the front he made us including my elderky mom stand and wait another 5 minutes! We were ready to leave! This guy is so not the face of Stacks! Now when we come we continue on if we see him at the front! It's been good cause we haven't seen him since? Maybe someone other than me complained about attitude?? Other then that Stacks ROCK! read more

My favorite place to eat breakfast in Burlingame! Everything is so good here. Whenever Im staying in the area I make it a priority to drive over here to eat. Portion sizes are generous, and food is prepared well. Food quality is above average, and staff is friendly and attentive. Several varieties of pancakes available. I've tried a few, and they are all great. Omelets are also great, and there is a nice selection of bread and bagels. If your staying in the area and looking for a great breakfast, try it out, you wont be disappointed. read more

Visited on a Sunday morning for two. Place was packed at 10:30am but we were seated right away in a booth inside. This was our first time and it did not disappoint. We ordered the chicken and waffles, and the corn beef potato skillet. Chicken and waffles (5/5) at $23 - The chicken was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Huge portion, as they gave us half a chicken. Batter was crispy, not oily and a great mix of savory and a hint of maple sweetness. The waffle was fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked. It came with a small jar of pure Canadian maple syrup, a pleasant surprise, which complemented the chicken and waffles very well. Chicken gravy and butter was also provided, but we didn't use these as much because the chicken was already so flavorful. Definitely would order this dish again! Corn beef potato skillet (3/5) at $18 - Overall good, but not great. The corn beef was sliced thin and flavorful. The onions were a bit undercooked. Potato hash was solid but could have been crispier. Over easy eggs were perfect. Came with a side of lightly buttered and toasted bagel. Would try something else next time. Overall, great ambience and service; we would come back and explore additional dishes off their extensive menu. read more

Great spot for breakfast, little pricey but the food was very good and hot when served. We ordered two skillets, coffee and cranberry juice and the total came to $56.07. Skillet #1 bacon and onions with two eggs over hard, side of sourdough toast. Skillet #2 bacon and onions, hot link and mushrooms with bagel. Service was very good. Alfredo made sure we were satisfied. He left the pot of coffee on our table which was nice. Ambiance was pleasant. A lot of light and not too loud. We were lucky to get a table by the window. Would definitely come back. read more

I ordered the chicken apple omelette and I was neither impressed nor disappointed. It was a basic omelette and not too bad. The potato's on the other hand were not good. It had a weird taste that I can't really describe. I would maybe get fries next time if they offer it? Not sure if they do. We also ordered a stack of blueberry pancakes to share. The pancakes were huge!! It was more like a cake than a pancake! They were fluffy and the blueberry jam that came with it was delicious as well. The server was great! He was always on the move but kept a great energy and was kind. We ate outside and it was great weather but I've never been inside. It did seem a bit outdated so I'd try to sit outside. read more
